If you depend on the UNEP (United Nations Program for the Environment), sustainable consumption experience will be easier going forward. That's because, last week launched a global initiative that aims to provide accurate and reliable information on the impact of a product on the planet.
Christening Program Consumer Information (CIP or CIP, its acronym in English), the project should assist governments, certification bodies, companies and NGOs to know the social and environmental impacts of certain products.
The PIC will be led by the governments of Germany and Indonesia with Consumers International. "The consumption and sustainable production means doing more and better with less," said Undersecretary-General of the United Nations and UNEP Executive Director, Achim Steiner.
The idea is to educate consumers so that, at the time of purchase, know opt for the less environmentally friendly products. The work program includes review of information systems and tools such as voluntary standards, environmental labeling and marketing approaches.
